WNY ASG (September 23, 2018)
Athletic frame at 5-foot-11, 160-pounds. Ran a 7.40 60 yard dash. Offensively – Wide, balanced set-up with some knee bend. Takes a short, controlled forward stride as hands pull back to load. Hands stay tight to the body and get on plane with the pitch early. Level barrel path thru the zone. Hits against a firm front side. Stays balanced thru low, 2-handed finish. Exit velocity was 76 MPH. Defensively – Maintains body control while tracking ball in OF. Feet stay active while working thru the ball. Uses a side shuffle to create momentum. Long, loose arm action with ¾ release. Arm strength was 74 MPH.
Preseason All-State West (Feb 19, 2018)
Merkov stands at 5-foot-11, 160 pounds.  Ran a 7.50-60, an improvement since last February.  Offensively- Righty with square stance slightly extending shoulder length.  Hands held at ear height.  Slight heel lift with toe tap to engage.  Swing plane at an incline following contact.  Exit velocity measured at 84-MPH showing bat strength.  This is also a 3-MPH improvement from July.  Defensively- comfortably approaches ball, smooth ball to hand transfer releasing the ball at a high 3/4- arm slot with smooth crow hop.  Arm strength measured at 78-MPH.
Canisius College - July 5, 2017 
Merkov stands in at 5-foot-11, 155-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 4.76 home to first. Offensively- Righty sets up square to the pitcher with his feet wide outside shoulder width. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a quick knee raise in to stride forward while his hands move back into the hitting position. Utilizes good lower body rotation getting his whole-body frame involved in the process of the swing. Shows quick hands into the hitting zone with a level barrel path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Demonstrated line drive ability up the middle and to the pull side during batting practice round. Recorded an exit velocity of 81 MPH. Defensively- Good approach and footwork getting to and underneath the baseball. Shows a good long outfielder arm swing throwing downhill towards target. Fluid crow hop mechanics gaining ground throughout the movement. Was accurate on all throws and recorded a positional arm velocity of 78 MPH.

Preseason All-State (February 20, 2017)
Merkov stands in at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 7.55 – 60. Offensively- Righty sets up square to the pitcher with his feet just outside shoulder width. Shows an upright torso with his hands above his back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement prior to delivery. On pitch his trigger is a knee raise into a step forward while he brings his hands down and back up to get into his hitting position. Has a lot of extra movement during his trigger, would be easier to pick up timing with a smoother trigger back with the hands and a quieter step forward but he is able to repeat and be on time. Hands are quick to the zone but casts out a bit slowing them down. Still manages to get good upward barrel action throughout the hitting zone with a mid-body one handed finish. Good lower half during the swing allowing the entire body to get involved. Middle of the field line drive/fly ball results; exit velocity of 82 MPH. Defensively- Good athletic footwork towards baseball. Gains ground through the crow hop mechanic towards intended target. Shows good arm action and accuracy on throws. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 78 MPH.
